Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 374 136. Kurt Hansen

To be honest, Carl's first impression of Hansen was pretty good.

When people meet for the first time, their first impression is often based on their appearance and dress. Hansen, with his short hair, black sweatshirt and work pants, gave Carl a familiar feeling that he could be seen everywhere on the streets in the past. Compared with the colorful costumes on the streets of Night City today, Carl may prefer this simple style that is now considered military style.

At least your eyes won’t be dazzled by the sequins on your clothes.

The only people who sat down were Carl, Kenichi and Kazuya, while V and the others stood beside the sofa chairs like the other Hansen bodyguards, watching the negotiation. After everyone who was supposed to sit down sat down and the guards beside them stood up, Hansen spoke:

"Earlier the day before yesterday, I heard from my subordinates that the Arasaka personnel wanted to discuss business with me. Since then, I have been preparing for the meeting. However, I didn't expect that such a small place like mine could have two well-known figures in the city come at the same time. This really makes my place glorious."

Chinese?

When Kurt Hansen spoke, he actually used Chinese.

It would be more reasonable to use Japanese when facing Arasaka's guests, but he chose Chinese.
The main person you are dealing with is yourself.

Karl simply replied to Kurt Hansen's words, which were obviously directed at him: "I can't say I'm famous. I just happened to be hired to do some small business as a low-level mercenary. I can't compare to the comfortable and free Dog Town controlled by you, Mr. Kurt Hansen."

When discussing business, if someone says something respectful, you should always respond politely.

Listening to Carl's modesty and praise, Kurt Hansen's eyes flickered, and then he spoke: "It's said to be comfortable and free, but it's just a small business in the cracks. Just like today I have to sit and wait for you to come. For business, both parties must sit down and have a good talk to reach an understanding, right?"

After saying this polite greeting, Kurt Hansen was in no hurry to talk business. He looked at Carl's face and spoke casually as if to establish a relationship with him: "Carl, I heard that you came to Night City in early 75. So you are an outsider like me who came to Night City in 70."

Are you using your status as a fellow outsider to build closer ties?
Karl was thinking in his mind, but he corrected Kurt Hansen's mistake: "It's a bit too early to say that I came at the beginning of the year. I came at the end of the year and it was almost the New Year. I am about six years behind you, Mr. Hansen."

Hearing Carl say that he would come at the end of the year, Kurt Hansen nodded slightly, and then said, "This city must be difficult to get used to. When I first came to this city, I always lamented its specialness and uniqueness. When I finally came here, I also wondered why the shame of this new America would exist for so long. Now think about it, the existence of this city is indeed a perfect place for people like us to stay, isn't it?"

"As for a place to stay, Night City is now my home in America. However, the food is still a little hard to get used to. This time I came to Dogtown and saw the world. Dogtown has a lot of food that is not allowed to be sold in the city. I bought a lot of it."

"Then I would like to recommend the caviar sent by our friends from Siberia. I don't know if you bought any yesterday. I remember that the caviar is quite scarce in the market recently. If you didn't buy any, I will personally give you a box when we get back."

Carl recalled yesterday.

"I did buy it, but it was just two small cans. If you are really willing to give us a box, Mr. Hansen, I would be happy to accept it."

Hearing Carl say that he bought two small cans, Hansen's artificial eye flickered again, as if he was checking some data, and the result of his checking made him smile: "Okay, let's stop chatting here. I don't think you and Mr. Kenichi from Arasaka came here to listen to the idle chat of an ordinary little guy like me. Let's get down to business."

As Kurt Hansen spoke, he waved to the Netherhound staff behind him. The man understood and quickly stepped forward, handing over a small box.

As if to show his sincerity, Hansen opened the small box as soon as he got it and placed it on the glass table in front of the sofa so that everyone could see what was inside.

"It's agreed. I think you should be prepared to pay the price for what you want."

What Hansen took out was a cylindrical mechanical tube, which was about four centimeters long and one centimeter in diameter. It looked quite delicate. When Carl saw this small object, he noticed that Kenichi and Kazuya, who were sitting next to him and had remained silent during the previous conversation, looked more serious.

It seems that this is what we are going to discuss this time.

Hansen's subsequent introduction also made Carl understand why Kenichi and his representative came to discuss this matter.

"This is a prototype of Kangtao's revised software for electromagnetic interference. With it, not only can the relevant equipment be quickly restarted after electromagnetic interference, but it can also perform internal checks and kills, effectively preventing loopholes in the intelligent control system."

Hansen said with a kind smile on his face: "This thing is a good thing. If it weren't for my lack of technical ability, I wouldn't want to give away the thing that my subordinates have worked so hard to get."

"It's said that we put a lot of effort into it, but in fact, we just accidentally intercepted a passing Kangtao intelligent control hovercraft and found this part from it, which was originally intended to be transported quietly through conventional transportation."

Seeing the genuine goods being brought out, Kenichi and Kazuya obviously had no intention of chatting or complimenting Hansen. He got straight to the point right away: "We can provide you with the transportation line to Hawaii that you have always wanted, so that you can also participate in the route to Hawaii."

"A transportation line to Hawaii? That's a really good deal."

The expression on Hansen's face seemed very satisfied.

"but."

But his expression suddenly changed, and he changed the subject: "I have a customer here who is also very interested in this thing. I am also very satisfied with the price she offered, but I am also a little hesitant. Why not let her come over to talk about it."

Having said that, Hansen did not give Kenichi and Kazuya any time to refuse, and looked directly to the side. When Kenichi and Kazuya looked over, he saw that although he had expected it, he still saw disgusting people slowly approaching.
